Inside clandestine fentanyl labs run by Mexican cartels | NewsNation Prime

[@jenniferwong4530]

This has to stop. It's going to kill an entire generation. I'm a grandma and I have friends, grandma's, and great grandma's, now raising young children whose parents and grandparents are all dead. It's just heartbreaking.

[@WhoaBo]

I am a sandwich

[@diegoaviles6663]

Tell that to drug users. As long as people don’t take accountability for their choices, this will keep happening.

[@edzzz5043]

​@diegoaviles6663 naahh. That still makes mexico the government guilty for not caring for their neighbors and allowing this happen. Fiero pa los corruptos

[@diegoaviles6663]

@@edzzz5043 yea, especially when you consider that the US has been so considerate and fair towards Mexico, like the time they took away half of our territory, or the multiple occasions in which they have intervened directly in our politics. Frankly, Mexico is currently treating the US the same way they have been treating us for nearly two hundred years. Karma does exist.

[@DeborrahSHIFFER]

Not very many repeat customers so I don't understand it.

[@halfdeadedlifereturningwit3420]

People build up a tolerance kind of quick. And some don't.

[@RickyIcecubes]

There is a steady stream of new ones always coming in to replace them. Fentanyl is a destroyer of worlds.

[@davidanderson8469]

I don't either. Intelligent young people trying something that they know is deadly.

[@halfdeadedlifereturningwit3420]

@davidanderson8469 A lot of time they don't even know that's what they are taking.

[@YouWillLose]

I can easily explain. The high death rates is due to it being laced with other things and people taking it unknowingly. I’m not saying regular addicts don’t sometimes OD but just like any heroin addict you know who has been shooting up for 20 years it’s the same now with fet. There are some people who can stay addicts 20 years. It’s the idiots lacing other people’s stuff with it that’s mostly harming people. Believe it or not you can be healthy if you do an opoid as long as you eat right and exercise and don’t OD. A lot of opioid addicts with liver damage is because they are taking percs that have excessive Tylenol in them. You can literally have a six pack and be a heroin addict I promise you.

[@MikeC-x3q]

And the CIA is supplying them and allowing them to excel. That’s why they’re working with the cartels … go ask chapo

[@angel-f1i7s]

exactly they been doing it for decades

[@Shiveringnudus]

Iam so glad you are giving this the attention it needs.

[@WhoaBo]

I am so happy we all have a sandwich 🥪

[@zoelife1105]

Thank you for this story, public awareness is critical. First time I've heard of this. Sooo sad reading comments that treat this like a joke.

[@WhoaBo]

You are welcome.

[@rrussell9731]

Crazy idea: Don't do drugs, and supply goes away instantly. Everyone is mad at cartels, but they're just satisfying customers' demands.

[@indoorgangster]

Not crazy. Simplistic.

[@7791D]

We are a society that has just gotten more and more obsessed with drugs alcohol and marijuana and nicotine/vaping. It will never stop.

[@diegoaviles6663]

@@indoorgangsterNot simplistic at all, but realistic. People don’t want to take accountability for their actions and they blame Mexico for their own misdeeds instead.

[@WhoaBo]

Morphine is stronger than heroin? I always thought it was the opposite. Why dont heroin addicts just do morphine if its stronger?

[@Baliken100]

No they have it wrong, they literally just mixrd them up. heroin is a more refined version of morphine. It was actually originally made by the Bayer company, the same company that makes your Aspirin lol. Truth look it up. but yeah they just made a simple mistake I think the numbers are relatively accurate.

[@Baliken100]

in case you're wondering I went to college to be a substance abuse counselor. That's where I got my info lol. not a chemist but, definitely know what I'm talking about.

[@AlbertoGonzalez..]

Because u can’t get it’s farma

[@HomeEF]

Very scary situation, thank you for so important information to make people aware of the dangerous drugs.

[@functionalvanconversion4284]

Should we salute their ambitious pursuit of maximizing profits and shareholders returns?

[@jasonrichard7560]

You should see the labs in the U.S. right next to their meth labs

[@its_elser]

80 times stronger than morphine. 100s of times stronger than heroin. well instantly one can tell they don't know what they are talking about.

[@Baliken100]

🤣🤣🤣 I was wondering if anybody else would catch that. I think they just mixed the two up. I mean everybody argues the numbers I think they're off but whatever. Google says it's 50 and a 100.

[@nhfdety1025]

Ask Biden

[@Justin-pb8sx]

Send the military

[@cannabico6621]

most of the labs are located right in the uS and canada too, the probelm is domestic not foreign.

[@Bearlyontime]

To do what? They can't compete with the cartels.

[@nedmode9412]

dumb take

[@michael85225]

How about just stop buying the stuff then? The US can't act like an innocent victim in this situation and put the blame only on one side.

[@bullitt7544]

Th Big Guy still gets his 10%

Cartels will find out what JDAMS are in 2025

[@laurentHK]

Thanks Purdue and the whole Sackler family for triggering this epidemic and at the same time for negotiating their immunity with the US government. Appalling to witness such a great country being "eaten alive " from within.

[@woyciechow-ska]

One of the largest producers of phenanthyl was Syria :)

[@theextremeteam4733]

Cartels are competing with US drug companies now.

[@roncarroll4136]

Heisenberg in the making

[@Baliken100]

FACT CHECK: You have morphine and heroin mixed up. heroin is stronger than morphine. So if anything it would be 80 times stronger than 'heroine' and hundreds of times stronger than 'morphine'. easy mistake for people "not in the know" ... apology accepted lol

pretty much nothing anyone can do to stop it either... why waste time on it
